To all whom z't may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR 0. KNIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at l/Vorcester, in the county of l/Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new land useful Stamp, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a hand stamp, such as the usual one having' rubber type, with an lidentifying device so that the same can be easily identified and.

properly employed.

' -To this end7 the invention consists of the Aarrangements hereinafter 'described and illust-rated in the accompanying drawing 1n which'- Figure l is a front elevation of a stamp with my improvement applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is a bottom view; Fig. 3 is a partial cross sectionalrview; and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing sections of theparts making up they identifying device. r l Y Referring to the drawings, and in detail- A designates the body of a stamp which is provided with an upwardly extending handle B and which has the usual rubberl type on its bottom face.

A channel piece C, consistingof a metal.

strip having bent oversides, is secured to the front face of the bodyj portion A by brads D, the heads of which, project intoy the channel when the channel piece is secured thereby to the body portion.

E designates a card or plateV having an identifying legend printed or stamped thereon; and F designates a strip of transparent material as Celluloid. The and F are all of just the right length and breadth to fit into the channel piece C, and when slid therein the brads will hold the same in position.

The card E and transparent piece F are cut the same length as the channel piece I,

vhoused in the channel piece ,the sides of the placed in said channelpiece, said bent over' sides clampingV sai-d l,card

pieces E the channel piece', the card and strip being of the Same length as the channel piece.

vso that when the parts are Vvin position thel same will Vpresentan attractive andneat appearance. 'In the manufacture of thedevi the channelv piece is first secured to thebody portion which remainy inthe channel yieee at ,some little distance inV froinits enfl.` Then' .thev card andthe transparent pieceare inserted inthe channel piece.l Th'is.'can be easily done as they can beslid some distanceinto g thechannel piecefhefore' they will have to pass by the head of a brad. l After the card and transparent piece are Y channel piece are tappedwith a hammer.

' This action will clamp-.the transparent piece andca'rd down on the .and thus the parts will' be locked in position.

1 Thus the device can be' heads of the brad-s,

quickly and l easily manufactured.

v A stamparranged this beeasily- Y' identified and'accurately used. y Having thusfully described my invenfl tion, what I'claim 'and desire to fsecure by A stamp comprising a'body'portion, a

handle extending from the topthereoff, type secured tothe bottom-thereof, a channel piece having bent over sides secured ltothe front face thereof by brads, the heads ofwhich remain in the channel, a card or plate havingan identifying legend `thereon and a A` strip of transparent material as Celluloid and' 'transparent of the ,channel also servingto 1 in position inl plate. against the bottom piece andsaid brad heads hold the card and celluloid In testimony whereof I have hereunto' ai"- lfixed my signature. f Y
